Julius Caesar1953

Intelligent, careful and completely honest screen version of the famous Shakespeare historical drama. Director Joseph Mankiewicz has treated the original with great integrity, never allowing any "adapting for the screen" but depending solely on text and players to put it across. The result is one of the most memorable of all motion pictures, exciting, moving, and beautifully acted, especially by James Mason (as Brutus), John Gielgud (as Cassius). 1
